I am trying to select data from 3 separate tables, where 2 of those contains multiple rows of data. The sql query i am using is this, but i am experiencing that when i run it, if either taskdependees or tasksdependencies have zero result, the whole task is not showing.
SELECT t.*, GROUP_CONCAT(a.DependenciesId) as DiesId, GROUP_CONCAT(b.DependeesId) as DeesId FROM tasks t JOIN tasksdependencies a ON a.TasksId=t.TasksId JOIN taskdependees b ON b.TasksId=t.TasksId GROUP BY t.TasksId
What am I doing wrong in this query?
Use LEFT JOIN , inner join will give row if there is association is present in both tables while left will return the rows from left table even if they are not associated
SELECT t.*, GROUP_CONCAT(a.DependenciesId) as DiesId,
GROUP_CONCAT(b.DependeesId) as DeesId
FROM tasks t
LEFT JOIN tasksdependencies a ON a.TasksId=t.TasksId
LEFT JOIN taskdependees b ON b.TasksId=t.TasksId
GROUP BY t.TasksId

I have two tables.
Table A:
root_id, root_text
Table B:
word_id , word_text,root_text
Now Some of the records of Table B has root_texts which might not exist in Table A.
So for that I am trying to use left join.
select *
from A a , B b
where a.root_text=+b.root_text
I only get the records which has matching root_text.
If I use the new way
Select
*
from
A left join B on a.root_text= b.root_text
I get so many extra records. I am Using MySQL 5.6.1.7
UPDATE :
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/7b32a/2
Query I am running
select * from word_detail w left join roots r
on r.root_text =w.root
and w.surah_no=1
and w.verse_no=1
and w.word_no=1
What I am doing wrong ?
As in result you see so many records which are not needed. The filter verse_no , word_no not working.
Update
The issue was after the left join we have to use where
select * from word_detail w left join roots r
on r.root_text =w.root
where w.surah_no=1
and w.verse_no=1
and w.word_no=1
If you want all records from TableB that are not present in table A you should use this:
Select *
from
B left join A
on a.root_text= b.root_text
where
a.root_text is null
or if you want the opposite - all records from tableA that are not present on tableB:
Select *
from
A left join B
on a.root_text= b.root_text
where
b.root_text is null
btw, this is not a left join on MySQL:
select * from A a , B b where a.root_text=+b.root_text
but will result as a simple INNER JOIN
The += operator is not standard SQL, but specific to the Oracle RDBMS, so it will not work as expected on MySQL.
The LEFT JOIN syntax is correct, the "many extra records" stem from the data in your tables. You might want to use some sort of WHERE as a filter or an aggregate to group the result set to make it more managable.
Your first example is an inner join which explains why you are not getting as many results as when you are left joining. Left joining can also be thought of as a left outer join.
Im having a bit of difficulty with getting user information from one place to another.
There are 3 tables dbo.gr_usersource and dbo.gr_task and dbo.gr_user
In the dbo.gr_task table a column is filled with values that match entries in dbo.gr_usersource table that has another value that corresponds to the value in the dbo.gr_user table. You could call it a reference table between dbo.gr_task and dbo.gr_user tables.
My query looks like this;
select
dbo.gr_task.task_number
, dbo.gr_task.task_name
, dbo.gr_task.task_description
from dbo.gr_task
left join dbo.gr_user AS Handler
on dbo.gr_usersource.usersource_user = Handler.user_id
and dbo.gr_task.task_handler = dbo.gr.usersource.usersource.id
The last step would be to get the column user_name from table user when the join is working.
You have missed mediator table in your join so use as per below-
SELECT dbo.gr_task.task_number,dbo.gr_task.task_name, dbo.gr_task.task_description
FROM dbo.gr_task AS gt
LEFT JOIN dbo.gr_usersource gus ON gt.task_handler=gus.usersource.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.gr_user AS gu ON gus.usersource_user=gu.user_id;
Note: If you want only matching rows in all 3 tables then you should use normal join instead of left join.
This may work for you.
Note that there are no columns from your joined tables in your select list so left joins would have no impact on your result set.
Inner joins will filter your results set even if you bring back no columns, i.e., enforce the join condition to match rows in both tables.
SELECT
t.task_number
, t.task_name
, t.task_description
FROM dbo.gr_task t
INNER JOIN dbo.gr_usersource us
ON us.usersource.id = t.task_handler
INNER JOIN dbo.gr_user u
ON u.user_id = us.usersource_user
Below is my sql statement
SELECT a.purchase_id,
b.username,
a.purchase_packageid,
a.purchase_tradelimit,
a.purchase_pincode,
a.purchase_datetime,
c.packages_name ,
FROM purchase a,
accounts b,
packages c
WHERE a.purchase_userid=b.UserId
AND c.packages_id=a.purchase_packageid
Basically the issue is I got 3 tables
Accounts
Purchase
Packages
The main table is Purchase, inside the table there is purchase_userid , which I need to use it to get username from table accounts
So the problem now is I got rows where the purchase_userid is blank, because its blank, it won't draw its record as null.
The only record that show in this sql statement is only those with purchase_userid,
As the value for purchase_userid will be fill up later for my web app,
I still want to select rows without purchase_userid and those with purchase_userid
Thanks for helping !!
You need to use a left join to load all records in Purchase even when no matching records are found in Accounts.
SELECT a.purchase_id, b.username, a.purchase_packageid, a.purchase_tradelimit, a.purchase_pincode, a.purchase_datetime, c.packages_name
FROM purchase a LEFT JOIN accounts b
ON a.purchase_userid=b.UserId
JOIN packages c
ON c.packages_id=a.purchase_packageid
This post explains the different kinds of joins pretty well: What's the difference between INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN and FULL JOIN?
You're using the old-timey syntax for INNER JOINs between your tables, when what you need is LEFT JOIN operations. Try this:
SELECT a.purchase_id,
b.username,
a.purchase_packageid,
a.purchase_tradelimit,
a.purchase_pincode,
a.purchase_datetime,
c.packages_name
FROM purchase AS a
LEFT JOIN accounts AS b ON a.purchase_userid = b.UserId
LEFT JOIN packages AS c ON a.purchase_packageid = c.packages_id
This works better for you because the kind of JOIN you were using suppresses records from your a table when they weren't matched in your b or c table. This LEFT JOIN will leave the a table records in place, and put NULL values where you are calling for data from the other two.
I m working in MySQL and have to write a select query.
I have related data in four tables. Now, the parent table may have data whose child data may not be present in lower tables.
I want to write a single query to get data from all four tables, irrespective of situation that data is present in child tables or not.
I have tried to write nested select and joins as below, but m not getting the data.
select * from property p where p.Re_ID in
(select Re_id from entry e where e.Re_ID in
(select Re_id from category c where c.Re_ID in
(select id from re)))
Please help me how to get data from all 4 tables.
If cir_registry is the master, you can select from that and LEFT JOIN the other tables in the order they're distant from cir_registry;
SELECT r.ID rId, r.Description rDescription, c.ID cId ...
...
p.Data_Type pDataType
FROM cir_registry r
LEFT JOIN cir_category c ON c.Registry_ID = r.ID
LEFT JOIN cir_entry e ON e.Category_ID = c.ID
LEFT JOIN cir_property p ON p.Entry_IDInSource = e.IDInSource
You should also alias the columns as above, otherwise, for example, p.ID and c.ID will both show up in the result set as ID, and you'll only be able to access one of them.
You might need UNION? Something like:
Select * FROM cir_registry
Union
Select * FROM cir_entry
Union
Select * FROM cir_property

I have to tables that I want to get all the results of both connect by a common cell. The problems is the second table only has some of records of the first table.
Table 1 forms
form_id, description, image,dept
Table 2 records
record_id, form_id, comments, added_date, done_date
If do a query like this:
SELECT * FROM form
JOIN records ON record.form_id = form.form_id
I do not get all of the forms because there is no record for that form. Is there away to do something like this? I would create a blank record for each form on in the records table, but I could not figure that out either.
This is a perfect application for a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
Example:
SELECT f.*, r.*
FROM form f
LEFT JOIN records r
ON r.form_id = f.form_id
ORDER BY f.description, r.added_date;
Use left join for these cases
SELECT * FROM form
LEFT JOIN records ON record.form_id = form.form_id
Please check which one u need --
LEFT OUTER JOIN :
Will include all records from Table Mentioned in Left Side and Matched Records from Right Side table, unmached record will be null
Ex :
SELECT *
FROM forms
LEFT JOIN records ON forms.form_id = record.form_id
FULL OUTER JOIN:
Will include all data from both table and unmatched will be null
Ex :
SELECT *
FROM forms
FULL OUTER JOIN records ON forms.form_id = record.form_id
